MAINZ and Werder Bremen are looking for their first win of the Bundesliga season when they meet at the Meva Arena on Sunday.
The home team is currently 12th in the table with two points and a goal difference of 4:4, while the guest is a place below with the same points balance and a goal difference of 2:2.
In the previous round, just before the representative break, Mainz played 3:3 with Stuttgart, and Werder shared the points with Dortmund (2:2).
The players of Mainz showed exceptional character against Stuttgart, considering that they were losing 2:0 after only 15 minutes, but with the goals of Nadiem Amiri in the 43rd minute and Jonathan Burkart in the 62nd minute, they managed to equalize. The drama didn’t end there as Fabian Reeder gave Stuttgart a new lead in the 88th minute, but Maxim Leich scored Mainz’s third goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time to ensure his side left Stuttgart with a deserved point.
The hosts drew their first league game 1-1 against Union Berlin, a game in which they had 54% possession and created two big chances from their 14 shots, but also faced 15 shots and two big chances.
Bo Henriksen’s team is hard to beat, they are undefeated in the last 11 league games, winning five and drawing six, including the end of last season when they managed to survive in the league, although no one expected it after the 0:8 loss against Bayern. But that was the last defeat of Mainz in the League, exactly six months ago.
Mainz is also undefeated in the last nine games at home, but their last defeat at the “Seagull Arena” was inflicted by Werder in February of this year.
The guests enter the match somewhat dissatisfied with the draw against Borussia Dortmund because they had more players in the last 20 minutes, when Niko Schlotterback was sent off in the 73rd minute.
It’s their own fault, because with one more player, and the central defender was excluded, they sent only one shot into the opponent’s goal.
In the first round, Verder drew 2:2 against Augsburg in an even match, with both sides having 11 shots and three great chances.
Ole Werner’s side have the second-worst number of chances created of any team in the Bundesliga and the third-fewest shots on goal per match so far.
Werner’s side are unbeaten in their last seven league games, winning three times and drawing four times, scoring 14 goals in those games.
Werder Bremen are also unbeaten in their last three away matches in the Bundesliga, although they have lost three of their previous four away matches.
